PRODUCTS

Can I add, remove or substitute an item in my order?
Once an order is placed, the details of that order are final, including the items purchased. You cannot remove or substitute an item once an order is placed. If there is another item that you would like to purchase, you will need to create a new order.
Can I cancel an order?
Online orders are final and cannot be cancelled.
I’ve obtained a Special Occasion Permit (SOP) for a private event. Can I order my alcohol online?
All alcohol used at your event must be purchased under the permit from an LCBO store, The Beer Store or any authorized manufacturer’s on-site or off-site retail store. When you retrieve your online order, please let us know that your product will be served at a private event and bring your Special Occasion Permit (SOP) or the AGCO email with you. Store staff will require the permit number.
Can I order my alcohol online for my Licensed Establishment?
Yes, Licensed Establishments (i.e., bars and restaurants licensed by the AGCO) can place alcohol orders online at www.wholesale.lcbo.com.
Aeroplan Points
Can I earn Aeroplan points on my online order?
Yes, you can earn Aeroplan points on your online order using the LCBO.com website or mobile app. To do so, simply provide your Aeroplan number during checkout.

By expanding the Aeroplan section in your cart or during checkout, you can see the breakdown of the base and bonus points you could earn. For more information about earning Aeroplan points at the LCBO, click here.
Can I redeem my Aeroplan points online at the LCBO?
When shopping online on the LCBO.com website or the mobile app you can get $10 off your purchase for every 1,000 Aeroplan points redeemed. To redeem points, you will be required to authenticate your Aeroplan account during the checkout process.
How many Aeroplan points can I redeem?
Every 1,000 Aeroplan points will get you $10 off the value of your purchase. You can redeem in $10 increments, starting at a minimum of $10.
How do I redeem Aeroplan points on my order?
In order to redeem Aeroplan points, you will need to provide your Aeroplan number either on the cart page or during the first step of the checkout process, if you are a guest user. For registered account holders with an Aeroplan number saved in their account profile, the Aeroplan number will be pre-populated in your cart and during checkout.
On the second step of the checkout process, expand the “Redeem Points” section to see the “Sign In” button. When you click on the “Sign In” button, you will be re-directed to the Aeroplan website to complete the Account Authentication process. Upon successful authentication, you will be directed back to the LCBO.com website or mobile app to complete your transaction. If you are eligible to redeem points and have a minimum of 1,000 Aeroplan points in your Aeroplan account, you will be able to select a redemption amount to apply to your order.
What happens to the Aeroplan points redemption value I selected if I navigate off the payment page to another page on the LCBO.com website or the mobile app?
When you navigate off the payment page, the value you selected for the Aeroplan points redemption will be removed and your order total will be recalculated.
Why are you pre-authorizing my credit or debit card when I redeem Aeroplan points?
Aeroplan points can be redeemed and applied against the purchase price for all or a portion of your online order on the LCBO.com website or mobile app. Any remaining balance must be paid for using an alternative payment method, such as a credit or debit card. As the final payment amount may vary depending on your available points and product availability, your credit or debit card will be pre-authorized for the Aeroplan points redemption amount, in addition to any balance that is being charged on credit or debit. Once your order has been picked or shipped, and the Aeroplan points redemption is confirmed, the final charge on your credit or debit card will be adjusted if necessary.
When will my Aeroplan points be debited from my Aeroplan account?
Your Aeroplan points will be debited from your Aeroplan account when your Same-Day Pickup order is ready to be picked up, or your Deliver to Store or Home Delivery order has shipped.
What happens if there’s an issue redeeming my Aeroplan points from my Aeroplan account?
If there is an issue redeeming your Aeroplan points from your Aeroplan account when your order has been picked or shipped, we will charge the Aeroplan points redemption amount onto your credit or debit card.
What happens to my Aeroplan points redemption when my order consists of more than one fulfilment option?
When an Aeroplan points redemption is applied to a transaction containing more than one fulfilment option, the redemption will be applied to the first order total, rounded down to the nearest dollar, then the second order total, and then the third order total if there still is a balance left from the redemption amount selected.
What happens to my Aeroplan points redemption if my order is not completely fulfilled?
If your order is not completely fulfilled, and your new order total is now less than your Aeroplan points redemption, then the redemption amount will be adjusted before the points are debited from your Aeroplan account. The adjusted Aeroplan points redemption amount will be the new order total value, rounded down to the nearest dollar. Any remaining balance will be charged on your credit or debit card.
What happens to my Aeroplan points redemption if my order gets cancelled?
If you applied Aeroplan points redemption to your order and the order gets cancelled, the Aeroplan points for the order will not be debited from your Aeroplan account.
What happens to my Aeroplan points redemption if my order gets refunded?
If you redeemed Aeroplan points for your order and the order is fully refunded, any Aeroplan points debited from your Aeroplan account for the order will be returned to your Aeroplan account.
What happens to my Aeroplan points redemption if I return my online order at the store?
For in-store returns, any Aeroplan points debited from your Aeroplan account for the online order will be returned on an LCBO gift card.
PAYMENT
What forms of payment are accepted?
We currently accept the following payment methods:
- Visa or Visa Debit
- Mastercard or Mastercard Debit
- American Express
- Apple Pay
You can also redeem Aeroplan points to reduce your payment amount.
Unfortunately, pre-paid cards are not accepted at this time on LCBO.com. Complete payment information, including credit or debit card account number, security code, expiry date, as well as the address associated with the credit or debit card, must be provided at time of ordering. Payments made may be subject to 3D Secure payment authentication. For this reason, at the payment stage of your order, you may be directed to your credit or debit card’s secure payment page.
Can I use gift cards for online purchases?
Unfortunately, we cannot accept gift cards for online purchases at this time.
When will I be charged?
When you place an order using Aeroplan points redemption, or credit or debit card, a pre-authorization will be made to ensure there are available funds for your purchase. If the balance is available, the amount of your entire purchase including the Aeroplan points redemption amount, will be reserved on your credit or debit card (therefore this amount will not be available for other purchases). Your payment method(s) will be charged once your Same-Day Pickup order is ready to be picked up, or your Deliver to Store or Home Delivery order has shipped.
Why are there multiple charges on my credit or debit card for my transaction?
When a transaction consists of more than one fulfilment option, and you opt to pay for all or a portion of the transaction using a credit or debit card, a single pre-authorization is taken on your card to ensure there are sufficient funds. Separate charges will be applied to your card for each order within the transaction once the order has been picked or shipped, depending on the fulfilment option.
Why are the funds still on hold on my Visa or Mastercard Debit after my order was cancelled?
When an order is placed, your Visa or Mastercard debit card will get pre-authorized and the issuing bank will immediately put a temporary hold on the pre-authorized funds in your bank account. The funds will remain on hold until the order has been picked or shipped, depending on the fulfilment option, or until the pre-authorization expires. If an order is cancelled, the pre-authorization will expire according to the terms of your bank or financial institution.
What happens to my order if payment is declined?
If we encounter a problem processing the payment for your order, your order will be cancelled and you will receive an email notification that your payment was declined. Any Aeroplan points redeemed on the order will be returned to your Aeroplan account.
Will I receive a receipt?
Yes, your receipt will be attached to the Ready for Pickup Notification email for Same-Day Pickup and Deliver to Store orders, and the Shipping Notification email for Home Delivery orders. The final amounts for Aeroplan points redemption and payment amount charged to your credit or debit card for your order will be displayed on your receipt.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY
Where can I have my order shipped?
You can place an order from almost anywhere in the world; however, orders can only be shipped to an address within the province of Ontario or to an LCBO store of your choice. Orders cannot be delivered to a PO Box so please ensure that you provide a physical street address. If you cannot provide a physical street address, select the free In-Store Pickup option — Same-Day Pickup or Deliver to Store.
How do I place an order with multiple shipping addresses?
Currently, you cannot send orders in a single transaction to different store locations. You also cannot send orders in a single transaction to different home delivery addresses. To do this, you’ll need to place separate orders in separate transactions.
Are there any delivery charges when I order online?
Orders can be shipped free of charge to an LCBO store of your choice or delivered to an Ontario address for a fee of $11.95 (plus tax) per order. Note that shipping charges are non-refundable.

For Home Delivery orders, our couriers will only hold on to your order up to 5 business days. Unsuccessful deliveries or orders that have not been picked up within that timeframe will be returned to the LCBO and you will be given a full refund (excluding shipping charges and applicable taxes) to your original payment method(s). Refunds are generally issued within 10 business days of when the return is dropped off at our warehouse by the courier. If you paid by credit or debit card, it may take an additional 3-5 business days for your card issuer to apply the refund. During busy periods, the processing time may be longer.
What do I do if I received the wrong product?
Please bring any incorrect product to any LCBO store within 30 days, along with your proof of purchase (receipt) and valid government-issued photo ID, to get a refund for your product. If the store has the correct product in stock, they may offer a product exchange. If not, a refund equal to the purchase price of the product not received will be processed to the original form of payment.
